"The ability to encrypt data anywhere helps to alleviate concerns about third-party access to data, removing cloud adoption barriers, and, by removing these barriers, allows IT teams and developers to realign their focus to other business priorities," said Sam Lugani, Google Cloud's product lead for Confidential Computing & Confidential AI, in an email to TechRepublic.
Confidential machines have been added to the C3D machine series, and include AMD's Secure Encrypted Virtualization technology. These machines represent an expansion of confidential VM availability from the general purpose N2D and C2D machine series to the more security-focused C3D machine series.
Specifically, C3D machine series instances with AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization isolate the guest accounts and the hypervisor from one another, protecting data while it is in use. C3 VMs range in size from 4 to 360 vCPUs and can hold up to 2,880 GB of memory in supported configurations.
Confidential machines on the C3 machine series are now available with Intel's TDX technology. Intel TDX provides hardware-based trusted execution environments for data integrity, confidentiality, and authenticity.
